So, I had to supplement with formula for sure. Mother's milk tea works exceptionally well for some women (friends of mine). the tea tastes good though and I kind of miss it as I discontinued breast feeding (due to lack of milk supply even with the tea at this point). For me, it doubled my milk supply which went from 1.5 oz a day (yes, you read that right) to 3 oz a day at its best. I could tell the difference when I didn't drink the tea but the tea alone is not sufficient to boosting milk supply to what is required and typical of a nursing mother.
It has a pleasant taste and was well priced. This producted helped increase my milk during a stressful time.
love it. talk about MAJOR increase. each time and that was every 4 hrs.
i pump every 2 hrs on the hour except when i am at work which is 4 hrs. every single time. i take fenugreek and brewer's yeast capsules as well as drinking this tea once a day.
at first, i only had 3 oz. and it is pleasantly tastey with some stevia (natural sweetener, also highly recommend). a day.
i pump between 4 1/2 and 10 oz.
There are 16 tea bags in a box so it will only last 2 and a half days, which makes it overpriced and insufficient for the needs of a mom trying to build up her milk supply. The box suggests drinking 5 cups of tea a day as well- who has that kind of time. Fenugreek capsules work- this doesn't. The amount of fenugreek recommended to promote milk production by far exceeds the amount in this tea. The tea has to seep for 10 minutes before drinking.
Worth giving a try I have used this tea and i think it works.I definitely do see and difference in my pumping output on the days i drink the tea.
